Lakshman's role as inspector Kulwant in Ambareesh starrer Antha still remains one of his most memorable performances. Directed by C V Rajendran, the film had Manjula Amritham, Srinath, and B S Dwarakish Narayana Swamy in lead roles. Having acted in more than 200 movies, the veteran actor started his career with a small role in a 1980 Kannada comedy-drama, Usha Swayamvara.
Meanwhile, many celebrities from the Sandalwood film industry have reached Lakshman's house to pay last respects.
